InterContinental Montelucia Resort & Spa

With an award-winning spa and restaurant and an inclusion in the Conde Nast Traveler Hot List (May, 2009), the new InterContinental® Montelucia Resort & Spa takes the Scottsdale resort experience to a higher level. Imagine escaping to a quaint European village, with authentic Mediterranean details like hand-crafted 16th century doors from Spain and a walkway modeled after the famous Alhambra in Granada. Now imagine touches of luxury seldom seen anywhere. Experience a relaxing Hammam ritual in the sprawling Moroccan-inspired Joya Spa. Just minutes from the airport and downtown Scottsdale, Montelucia is truly a world away.

The resort features 293 guest rooms including 39 suites and 2 presidential suites, the Andalusian and Camelback suites, offering 2,800 to 3,000 square feet of living space. Each guest room features flat-screen televisions, high-speed and wireless internet access, individual climate controls, fully stocked mini-bar, in-room coffee and tea service, feather beds, large working areas and terrace patios or balconies.

Joya Spa is an expansive and exotic Moroccan inspired spa, carefully planned and unlike any other in the world. Here, you’ll find an experience enriched with rituals, beginning with the Journey of Discovery, which includes the Joy of Purification and prepares spa-goers by releasing negativity; and the Joy of Intention which focuses on intention-setting for the spa visit and for life outside the spa. With an organic alchemist-created product line and elements of alchemy incorporated into each spa experience, guests feel they have been transported to a faraway exotic place of healing and a cocoon of rejuvenation and relaxation.
